ABSTRACT

A method for controlling a robotic device to perform a task may include
determining a force measurement corresponding to a section of sensors coupled
with a digit of a plurality of digits of a robotic device. The force
measurement may include a magnitude of a force and a position of a centroid of
the force in the section that are determined based on contact with an object
corresponding to a time. The method may further include determining a digit
position of the digit corresponding to the time, and moving the digit, based
on a prediction, to stabilize the object to perform a task. A machine learning
model can generate the prediction based on the force measurement and the digit
position. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
